BF2S Forums The Casual Gamer And Ranks, Private server rant

<[onex]>Headstone wrote:

I would like to thank EA On behalf of the casual gamers Out there for making ranks and weapons so hard to achieve. Just think about it, A Working man goes out and Buys the game plus expansion for say $80. He comes home Installs it and sits down to Play. WOW he thinks to himself, Where did he get that gun? Hmmmm Then he goes to apply for comander on a Public server and gets out ranked for the job. Hmmmmm he says. So after some searching on the internet he finds the info about BF2 multiplayer ranked server at lets say BF2s, he then sees what the requiremants are for him to be able to play the game he paid $80 the way he wants to. Now were not talking about a guy who can sit and play for 6 hours, were talking about the average Guy who comes home from work and does the dinner and family thing then wants to play his game for an hour or 2. So Said guy says Screw this rank crap(Ill never get those unlocks) and decides to find himself a privately run,Unranked server that allows him to play his game the way he sees fit. But with no luck, because you see EA Will DELIST any server that even thinks of haveing all the weapons unlocked for all to use and enjoy.

Honestly, Why would EA care if an unranked server has weapons unlocked? I mean you cant take em with you. Also, alot of players wont visit your private server if you dont allow them to use there unlocks. Kind of a catch 22 right? Now mind you, the play style is almost 100% different in non ranked servers than it is in ranked. this means to me personally, that in the unranked servers its about the FUN of the game, and not being judged by peeps and the game itself on how good you are by your rank. I personally think (and dont care if anyone agrees) That EA Lied when they said that BF2 would be Modder friendly, and that Private servers(Unranked) would have total control over the game and how its run.

Wouldnt it be nice if the ranked server play was like it is in unranked? I mean you wouldnt have so many pissy people bitching and moaning all the time in game and out. This rant has nothing to do with me personally, But its been something thats been bothering me for a bit and thought id write it down someplace, and this seemed like the right place LOL.

And whats with a Ranked server running Karkand2? Seen it in the list lastnight.

Carry on!

Life is about choices, some of us are not interested in the family, wife and baby thing and so we can do more of what we want ( i.e play games for 8 hours after we finnish work).  Why should games be nerfed for the casual gamer, he/she made their life choice, and for the rest of us to suffer.  THE CASUAL GAMERS are NOT the main TARGET of the gamming industry as the money is NOT THERE.
Personally I would like to see casual gamers PISS OFF from BF2, it would improve the game play.

Ive got something to say to your reply
first off I could be considered a "casual" gamer
I have a life that includes work and family
and since your lard ass chooses not to have family,wife,baby thing as you said, choice,thats your choice
personally I think your choice sucks,you go ahead and you "piss off"
another thing
go fuck yourself and the little dickless pony you rode in on...

Just so you know, I am over 30.  Also I notice that many of these so called men that have families blah blah
seem only able to reply with insults ( shows your intelligence and emotional level), I thought doing the family/married things made people grow up.

You just need to understand that in the grand scheme of game developers that you don't count.  It's not an insult but a fact of market research.
